The Spurs are intriguing. While some franchises are scrambling ahead of the 2025 Draft, San Antonio remains quiet, lurking in the shadows. No concrete rumors, no fireworks on the horizon. But what if this silence is actually hiding a much more ambitious plan?
Instead of rushing into acquiring a player like Kevin Durant—whose profile doesn’t match Victor Wembanyama’s age or the timeline of the Spurs’ project—the franchise seems determined to build patiently. Accumulating draft picks, protecting young players like Stephon Castle and Jeremy Sochan, and refusing rushed trades. The front office is playing the long game—but not without purpose.
Shams Charania : “I think they’re going to really be stocking their assets for potentially a bigger move, a bigger player, someone who may fit their timeline.”
A cautious strategy, but one that could shake up the entire NBA in the months to come.
A blockbuster in the making for the Spurs?
Because behind this cold, calculated approach, whispers are already circling. Giannis Antetokounmpo, for example, could become a top target in a year if things go south in Milwaukee. With his two-way skill set and competitive DNA, he would form a terrifying duo with Wembanyama.
Fans aren’t fooled, and many prefer this patience over a frantic race toward an immediate title. The Texan collective memory still recalls the Tim Duncan era, when stability and long-term vision laid the foundation for success. Wembanyama, still young and developing, deserves a team built around him without rushing. That requires tough decisions—like saying no to Kevin Durant, even if the short-term opportunity is appealing.
Behind the scenes, the Spurs continue to watch the league closely. Players like Zion Williamson or even Jaylen Brown could also hit the market within a year. If San Antonio has the right assets by then, the franchise might finally make a massive move. In the meantime, every decision made today fits into that long-term plan. And as always with the Spurs, it’s all about timing.
While others scramble, the Spurs stay still. Phoenix is still waiting for an offer for Kevin Durant, the Wolves are trying to move Rudy Gobert, and other teams are betting big before the June 25 draft. San Antonio is keeping its cards—and its promises—for later. A silent threat, but potentially a devastating one.
